Qatar Airways is increasing its Airbus A380 flights between Doha and Bangkok to a record four daily departures, starting October 26. The airline, which has eight operational A380s in a three-class configuration of 517 seats each, will now operate up to 25 weekly A380 flights on this route during the winter schedule.
Cirium Diio data shows that Qatar Airways is currently the world’s fourth-largest operator of the double-decker aircraft, behind Emirates, British Airways, and Singapore Airlines. The airline averages six daily A380 departures from its Doha hub, an increase from four during the same period last year. This growth follows the reactivation of additional aircraft and adjustments to other routes.
Last winter season, Qatar Airways operated only one daily A380 service to Bangkok. The increased frequency this year is partly due to a reduction in A380 services on London Heathrow flights. Despite halving Heathrow's A380 departures, the carrier will have a record ten daily flights overall to Heathrow and up to five London-bound flights within 35 minutes when including London Gatwick.
